These webinars will be designed for you to enjoy your lunch at your desk or home while listening to a series of experts and donors talking about nature conservation issues and funding. There will also be opportunities for you to ask questions or share your funding stories. |

| Climate campaign landscape meeting | |
|
The AEGN is undertaking research to track how resources flow to different parts of the climate campaign. This information will inform the development of a new climate change funding framework and help individual members see their grantmaking in the ‘big picture’ of climate campaigning in Australia. At this meeting members will discuss the research findings and, with support from movement experts, agree on conclusions that can be drawn from the data. This will include identifying issues or approaches which need more capacity. There will also be an opportunity for members to share their funding priorities with the group. The meeting has been scheduled for the day after the AEGN 10th birthday celebration, to maximise the number of people who can attend in person. |
